8.8. Growth and development 3 of 5

Question 3

Which answer gives the three main steps of growth and development in the right order?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Cells enlarging, the number increasing through cell division, cells specialising. Specialisation is the last step — that is the development.

Putting specialisation first is wrong; once a cell has specialised its job is settled. Absorbing water and cells dying are not among the three steps at all.
